About Empty Bowls

Empty Bowls is an international project to fight hunger, personalized on a community level. The concept for "Empty Bowls" is simple. Participating artists create and donate ceramic bowls, then serve a simple meal. Guests choose a bowl to use that day and to keep as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. In exchange for the meal, and the bowl, guests give a suggested minimum donation. The meal's proceeds are given to local hunger-fighting organizations, such as food banks or soup kitchens, or to national or international charitable groups.

Empty Bowls events can be sponsored by local potters and artists organizations, churches, community service organizations and schools.
